Wow! agree with diesel... if you get it running, post a video w/sound! I wish I had the time and patience to undertake a project like that. First of all I would need to be a widow... second of all, I still wouldn't attempt it! Hat's off to you!

You might some day unfortunately be a "widower", but it is rather unlikely that you will ever be a "widow".

Me too.. and I end up with more than I started even after I put it back together!

Ain't that the truth? How many coffe cans of nuts and bolts and odd parts do you have? Where did they come from? I have no idea!
:confused3:

I enjoyed the thread with the Oliver. Looking forward to even more enjoyment from this thread. Good Luck!

I was just going to add with old Flat Head Fords that have sat for a long time it is not uncommon for valves to hand up...

I have had success going one by one to free them up... sometimes on the Model A motors it was nothing more than taking out the valve guides with solvent and scotch pad...

Alright today I pressure washed the head and intake/exhaust manifold, then did a real quick bead blast job. Good enough. LOL

I cleaned the top of the block, pistons, wiped the bores out and wire wheeled everything. My father is coming over today with a valve spring tool so I can remove the valves. I'll bead blast those too. More to come.
